In the present study, simultaneous effects of the chemical reaction and electromagnetohydrodynamic on the Casson nanofluid over porous Riga plate has been investigated. The governing flow problem consists of linear momentum, thermal energy, and nanoparticle concentration equation, which is modeled with the help of Oberbeck–Boussinesq approximation. Shooting method is employed to obtain the solution of the resulting nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equation. The behavior of the velocity profile, temperature profile, and nanoparticle concentration profile are discussed against modified Hartman number, porosity parameter, chemical reaction parameter, Prandtl number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, Schmidt number, nanoparticle flux parameter, and Richardson number, respectively. The governing flow is also discussed for aiding and opposing flow by considering the negative and positive values of the modified Hartman number. The Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also computed numerically. Moreover, it is also found that the porosity parameter also enhances the velocity profile. A numerical comparison is also presented with previously published results to ensure the validity of the current methodology and results.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze theoretically the effects of thermal radiation with electrohydrodynamics through a Riga plate. An incompressible and irrotational fluid with constant density is taken into account. The governing flow problem is modeled with the help of linear momentum, thermal energy equation and nanoparticle concentration equation. Design/methodology/approach Numerical integration is used with the help of the shooting technique to examine the novel features of the velocity profile, temperature profile and nanoparticle concentration profile. The impact of all the emerging parameters is sketched with the help of graphs. The numerical values of local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also presented. Findings The no-slip condition is considered for the present study. The effects of electromagnetohydrodynamics enhance the velocity profile while thermal radiation effects tend to raise the temperature profile. The present study depicts many interesting behaviors that warrant further study on Riga plates with different non-Newtonian fluid models. A comparison is also presented with the existing published results which confirms the validity of the presented methodology. Originality/value The results of this paper are new and original.

The present exploration addresses the boundary layer electro-magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flow of time-dependant non-Newtonian tangent hyperbolic nanofluid that is electrically conducting past a Riga surface with variable thickness and slip boundary condition. Configuration flow modeling is deduced considering chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption with the impacts of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Also a newly proposed boundary condition with zero mass flux has been presented in the current contribution. Numerical solution of the governing non-linear differential equations is presented by considering the shooting technique. Graphical illustrations pointing out the aspects of distinct physical parameters on the non-Newtonian nanofluid velocity, temperature and concentration fields are introduced. From the computational results, the concentration distribution gives a decreasing function of the chemical reaction and Brownian motion parameters. Higher values of shape parameter yield a negative influence on the mechanical properties of the surface. The Hartmann number leads to maximize both of velocity field and skin friction coefficient. Additionally, numerical computed values of the skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are depicted with the needful discussion.

This article investigates the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convective heat, and mass transfer flow of an incompressible, viscous, Boussinesq, electrically conducting fluid from a vertical plate in a sparsely packed porous medium in the presence of thermal radiation and an nth order homogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and the diffusing species numerically. In this investigation, the fluid and porous properties like thermal and solutal diffusivity, permeability and porosity are all considered to be vary. The governing non-linear PDE's for the fluid flow are derived and transformed into a system of ODE's using an appropriate similarity transformation. The resultant equations are solved numerically using shooting technique and Runge-Kutta integral scheme with the help of Newton-Raphson algorithm in order to know the characteristics of the fluid for various non-dimensional parameters which are controlling the physical system graphically. The results of the numerical scheme are validated and a numerical comparison has been made with the available literature in the absence of some parameters and found that in good agreement.

AbstractThis study presents the influence of heat and mass transfer on peristaltic transport of Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic Peterlin (FENE-P) fluid in the presence of chemical reaction. It is assumed that all the fluid properties, except the density are constant. The Boussinesq approximation which relates density change to temperature and concentration changes is used in formulating buoyancy force terms in the momentum equation. Moreover, we neglect viscous dissipation and include diffusion-thermal (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects in the present analysis. By the consideration of such important aspects the flow equations become highly nonlinear and coupled. In order to make the problem tractable we have adopted widely used assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number. An exact solution of the simplified coupled linear equations for the temperature and concentration has been obtained whereas numerical solution is obtained for dimensionless stream function and pressure gradient. The effects of different parameters on velocity field, temperature and concentration fields and trapping phenomenon are highlighted through various graphs. Numerical integration has been performed to analyze pressure rise per wavelength.
